Smp treatment is for:

• People with Active Scalp Conditions: Infections, eczema or psoriasis on the scalp may delay the process.
• Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: Hormonal changes may affect pigment retention.
• People Allergic to Pigments: A patch test is recommended to rule out pigment allergies.
• Uncontrolled Autoimmune Conditions: Lupus etc.
• Unrealistic Expectations: SMP is not real hair.

• Consultation: We assess the scalp, hair density and goals.
• Patch Test: A small patch test may be done to test for pigment allergies.
• Design Consultation: Shape, hairline and style are discussed to achieve the most natural look.
• Pre-Treatment Advice: Avoid sun exposure, certain skincare products and hair treatments before the procedure.
• Pigment Selection: We choose the pigment colour to match your natural hair.

1st Session The 1st session is all about creating the hairline and a base layer of pigment. We apply light, subtle dots across the scalp to create an underlayer. This is the foundation for future sessions. At this point, it will look very subtle, and you may not feel like much has changed.
2nd and 3rd Sessions The 2nd and 3rd sessions add density and fill in gaps. We add new layers of pigment between the original dots to create the look of fuller, denser hair. If needed, we adjust the hairline shape or pigment colour. By this point, the hair follicles look more realistic. We also address any fading that occurred from the 1st session.
Final Touch-Up: The final touch-up session refines the look and fills in any sparse areas. This session ensures the illusion of hair density is complete and looks natural. We will make any necessary adjustments to the pigment colour, hairline design or density. After the final touch-up, you won’t need to come back for 1-3 years unless touch-ups are required.

Aftercare is key to long-lasting results and minimising the risk of complications like infection, fading or patchy results. Here’s what to do after your SMP treatment:

1. Keep Your Head Dry
   For 3 to 5 days after the procedure, don’t wash your scalp or get it wet. Water can interfere with the healing process and cause pigment migration: no showers, no swimming, no rain during this period.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure
   Sunlight, especially UV rays, can cause the pigment to fade faster than normal. After 3-5 days wear a hat or apply a high-SPF sunscreen on the scalp. Prolonged sun exposure is one of the main causes of fading, so this is important for long-term results.
3. No Heavy Exercise
   Exercise that causes excessive sweating should be avoided for about 7 days after the treatment. Sweat, like water, can cause pigment to fade or migrate. Sweat also contains salts that can irritate the healing skin and cause dryness, peeling or scabbing.
4. Moisturise the Scalp
   Once the scalp has healed, daily moisturising is recommended to prevent dry, flaky skin. Dry skin on the scalp can cause the pigment to look patchy or uneven. A non-greasy, fragrance-free moisturiser is best. Keeping the scalp hydrated also helps to keep the pigment looking vibrant and long-lasting.
5. Don’t Pick or Scratch
   As the scalp heals, you may feel a bit itchy or see tiny scabs forming. Don’t scratch or pick at the scabs. Scratching can cause pigment loss or unevenness. Let the scabs fall off naturally so the pigment can settle properly.

Micropigmentation hair is a semi-permanent solution and results last 4-6 years. However, the longevity of the treatment depends on several factors: your skin type, sun exposure and how well you follow aftercare instructions. For example, excessive sun exposure can cause the pigment to fade faster, and oily skin can cause the results to last a bit shorter due to natural sebum production. Touch-up sessions are recommended every 2-4 years to refresh the pigment and maintain the original look.
